A simple and rapid determination of the lecithin/sphingomyelin (LS) ratio in amniotic fluids and in pharyngeal aspirates of newborn infants.

A simple, rapid method for the routine determination of the lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio in amniotic fluid and/or in pharyngeal aspirate of the newborn has been developed. In 33 samples of amniotic fluid at various gestational ages, an L/S ratio corresponding to the fetal age was found: in 16 samples of biochemically immature amniotic fluid (gestation age less than 34 weeks) the mean of the ratio was 1.26 and in 17 samples of mature amniotic fluid (gestation age greater than 35 weeks) the mean value was 3.02. Pharyngeal aspirates of 55 non-selected newborn were examined by the same method. The L/S ratio of 39 infants (gestation age greater than 38 weeks) gave a mean value of 7.3 and that of 16 premature infants (gestation age less than 37 weeks) a mean value of 5.5. In none of these cases did RDS develop after birth. The results suggest that the method is useful for the determination in both amniotic fluid and pharyngeal aspirate.

[Report on research into the methods of group psychotherapy].

An attempt has been made by the present authors to arrive at a better understanding of and describe, the process of group therapy and its dynamics by means of an intensive and multidimensional study of a group of hospitalized neurotics undergoing psychotherapeutic treatment. The records of twenty group sessions, which were obtained from tape recordings, were analyzed by Hill's method with regard to their contents. Also, sociometric records were made of selected sessions, and we analyzed all of the various sessions and studies with regard to their latent manifestational contents. The results thus obtained are presently being evaluated. It appears that processes of group therapy are characterized by changes and by what may be called "nodal points"; what is suggestive of this is the noncasual coincidence of parameter variations observed when different methods of investigation were used. It is resonable to assume that interventions made at such points will increase the effectiveness of therapy.

[Interpersonal exposure to danger and risk-taking in the group therapy process].

The writer singles out from the complexities of the group psychotherapeutic process the dynamic pair: inter-personal exposure to danger and the taking of risk. According to his empirical experience and tests the degree of risk-taking is a good parameter for assessing the psychotherapeutic process. For this purpose the inter-action matrix devised by Hill proves itself most useful.
